This medium Kindergarten worksheet asks children to sort everyday actions as pushes or pulls. Nine fill-in-the-blank sentences cover throwing balls, lifting boxes, closing doors, and stopping rolling toys. A four-pair matching activity lines up actions like kicking, opening, pressing, and tugging with the correct force type. Hints highlight whether the object moves toward the body or away, helping Kindergarten learners build confident force vocabulary.
